'lightspeed' - SPN fanmix - Anna

This is by far the most upbeat fanmix I've ever made. That's what Anna does to you. Here she is deciding to rip out her grace and fall to earth. Not so much a fall from grace as an ascent to it. I'm counting this for the Anna square of my [livejournal.com profile] spnsupporting table.

I was hard-pressed to choose just one Oasis song. Much in the same way The Devil Makes Three always sings about Dean Winchester and Sufjan Stevens always sings about Susan Pevensie, Oasis likes to sing about Anna. It's cool, Noel, I love her too.






download .RAR or .ZIP


01. manu chao, "infinita tristeza"

chers amis lointains ou très proches,
habitants de touts les pays et touts les continents
infinita tristeza


02. joanna newsom, "sprout and the bean"

it's a funny thing
should we go outside?
should we break some bread?
are you interested?


03. regina spektor, "aching to pupate"

peddling is a dirty sport
there's competition in the city
everyone is on a street corner
all mysterious and giddy
some are selling bags and shoes
some are selling books and gold
i've been standing here for days
not one butterfly's been sold


04. andain, "beautiful things (gabriel & dresden mix)"

i forgot that i might need
to find out what life could bring
take this happy ending away, it's all the same
god won't waste this simplicity on possibility


05. oasis, "fade in-out"

the devil's refugee
is gonna be blinded by the light
that follows me


06. madonna, "swim"

we can't carry these sins on our back
don't wanna carry any more
we're gonna carry this train off the track
we're gonna swim to the ocean floor


07. midnight masses, "deserter song"

preacher with a bible knocking on the door
i ain't gonna be your house slave no more
teacher talking nonsense, knock her to the floor
i ain't gonna be your house slave no more


08. bis, "the end starts today"

will you leave this party with me?
we were not invited anyway
i have a path but i can't keep to it, no way
i followed it and don't know where it took me


09. our lady peace, "one man army"

undress your soul, show them your vigor
are those inhibitions easiest to fear?
come on, take this gasoline tin
head up high, walk like a winner
let your bare feet be the last sounds that they hear


10. the chemical brothers feat. noel gallagher, "let forever be"

how does it feel like
to make it happen here?
how does it feel like
to breathe with everything?
how does it feel like
to let forever be?
how does it feel like
to spend a little lifetime
sitting in the gutter?
scream a symphony


11. asian dub foundation, "speed of light"

you sell the freedom at gunpoint, i ain't gonna buy
you shout in my ear, i just stare at the sky
from the place in my head that's less wrong than right
i ain't living at the speed of light


12. anoushka shankar, "red sun"


13. massive attack feat. sinead o'connor, "what your soul sings"

don't be afraid
open your mouth and say
what your soul sings to you
your mind can never change
unless you ask it to

DOWNLOADING THIS RIGHT NOW. ANNAAAAAAAA.

[identity profile] metonomia.livejournal.com 2010-10-10 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
hmmm, do you know how I can convert the .rar? It won't play for me.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-10 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
You don't convert a .rar, you decompress it. A .rar is exactly like a .zip. You can download WinRAR here (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm). Hmm, come to think of it maybe I should upload a .zip file too.

[identity profile] metonomia.livejournal.com 2010-10-10 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
ohhhhhhhh, okay! Gracias!

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-10 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Have also uploaded a zip file, in addition.

[identity profile] metonomia.livejournal.com 2010-10-10 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
I got it with the WinRAR, but thank you, you are the best!

This is really good :D

Could I link this, with a blog, at my Deviant art group #AnnaMilton. This is the link to the webpage, http://annamilton.deviantart.com/

Thank you, and yes you can! :D awesome.

Ohhh, awesome. ANNA. :DDD

Also thanks for the zip file! :)

You're welcome! I should remember to do this for all future fanmixes.

Who can we pay to get an Anna vid to that Bis song WHO HOW MUCH I WANT IT. <333

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-10 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
This is how I feel every time I find a new [insert character name here] song. And I wish it were easier to make a vid about forty years in Dean/Alastair hell. Well, I guess they can use footage from documentaries about volcanoes and stuff.

God, that cover is gorg. Downloading like crazy.

Thank you! Enjoooooy.

oh, this looks awesome! I love the background of the cover--it reminds me of NASA's Pictures of the Day and all the gorgeous formations out there in space.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-10 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Possibly it was. I googled 'nebula' and saved the prettiest picture. ;)

Thanks, and enjoy!

I love thissss. Yay more music! Also Sprout and the Bean! I read that song totally differently, but I love it.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! Glad you like :)))

How do you read that song?

[identity profile] zempasuchil.livejournal.com 2010-10-11 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
omg this looks so great
(THE COVER <3333 omg the cover. spaaaace :D)

I really love the Speed of Light choice!! those lyrics! AND OMG INFINITA TRISTEZA :O habitants de touts les pays et touts les continents annaaaaaa anna you are now that exactly ;__; <3333

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
XD It was fun making a mix that wasn't super mopey for once. "Infinita Tristeza" is totally angel radio. She is listening and watching and she yeearrrrns.

[identity profile] zempasuchil.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
tell me about it. I had that fun with my Sassy mix, which was super super fun, because sassy is an excuse for cheesier music :D

omg manu chao is the sound of angel radio! omg *__* even though it is kinda mopey I wanna put La Primavera on something. it is just my fave. they fooled us with the spriiing <3

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
lol Manu Chao TOTALLY WOULD BE. Gabe would like him. Manu Chao would like Gabe better than he'd like Balthazar, I think.

I'm kinda struggling with my Castiel mix right now, because the first half feels kinda haphazard with the genres, but I do like how the second half goes (more triphop XD). So, idk! We'll see. And I have apparently started assigning songs as Castiel/Balthazar, but I think a Castiel/Balthazar mix from me would just consist of various remixes of "Crosses".

I should just make the graphics for my pre-apocalypse Dean mix already.

[identity profile] zempasuchil.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, I think so. Balthazar is very devil-may-care; Gabe cares so much that he goes through a lot of trouble to hide it. and then it splodes out in ragey frustration a la changing channels!

crosses oohhhhh that soooongggg <3

Lol, we just get further and further into postapocalypse Dean; it's probably about time for that preapocalypse thing :))

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Gabe's rage is the most entertaining out of all the archangels. When the other three start, wars get started. When Gabe starts, Dean and Sam get put in Grey's Anatomy. Gabe wins! Yeah I think both Manu and Gabe are people who are aware and have a great sense of justice, but also really enjoy parties. They'd love each other. omg Manu Chao/Gabriel loooolo9lololol.

I was telling Wyrm that if it were the 60s, Cas would be the guy burning his draft card and making a lot of noise, Balthazar would be dropping acid and making a lot of noise. They'd both be like "FREEDOM!!" but there is more passion than critical thinking behind the decision.

I'm considering putting this remix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raWRRBqDHts) of "Crosses" on my Cas mix. It reminds me of S5!Cas's journey.

[identity profile] zempasuchil.livejournal.com 2010-10-15 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
oh my god that remix

I spent all last night listening to it (ALL NIGHT or well, till 3am) and browsing other Crosses remixes, because WOW there are a ton, but that is the best. omg. (I also like the Funkagenda remix.)

oh god Cas
YOU CAN SWIM HOME ACROSS THOSE WOODS
oh gooodddd

IN OTHER NEWS yes I want to hang out with Manu Chao and Gabe, yes yes yes :D

I LIKE YOUR REVOLUTIONARY SIXTIES MODEL OF CAS AND BALTHAZAR :DDDDD. ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME TO WRITE ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY AU? EH?

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-15 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I FUCKIN KNOW, RITE?!? HE CAN SWIM HOME. HE'LL GET HOME EVENTUALLY. HE'LL FIND IT AGAIN. HE'LL BE THERE SOON. HE'S SURE. HE'S SO SURE. HE HAS FAAAAAIIIITHHHH. It kills me, oh god. fjdklfjsljfs

Yeah it started because I was specifically trying to find the Zero 7 remix, but then the search results yielded all this and it was like manna from heaven. From Jose Gonzalez. :DDDDD

Girl, I am ALWAYS trying to get you to write revolutionary AU. Anna, back in her day, was head of the student movement. She, Cas, Balthazar, and Uriel used to smoke so much weed and debate shit together. AND OMG THE VERY IDEA OF THEM DROPPING ACID TOGETHER IS SENDING MY BRAIN STRAIGHT INTO A HAPPY PLACE.

[identity profile] animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com 2010-10-12 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
omg I loooove you! :DDDD

[identity profile] smirk-dog.livejournal.com 2010-10-12 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I die. This looks amazing.

[identity profile] chibifrieza.livejournal.com 2010-10-13 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I just listened to a little over half of this while proofreading Gregorian chant transcriptions. It felt strangely fitting.

So far, I find it almost startlingly evocative of probably exactly what you meant to evoke, and I love it very much. Also, I have never heard any of these songs before, so thank you for that.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
:DDD It makes me pretty happy that you are proofreading Gregorian to this mix. The rest of your comment also makes me pretty happy! Thank you!

[identity profile] apple-buzz.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I love how Anna was in like, 4 whole eps and she's spawned all these awesome sauce fanmixes. Totally deserving, mind you. DLing this, coz it looks swanky.

[identity profile] alice-pike.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Downloading like woah. Srsly, I get turned on to so much good new music through fanmixes, so I'm glad I've never heard of most of this. Super excited to listen to it. (And thanks for the .zip file!)

[identity profile] jaded56.livejournal.com 2010-10-17 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG IT'S ANNA.

I adore her so much and I wish she could come back to the show ♥ Gorgeous cover art and excellent song choices.

Thank youuuu

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-10-19 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! And I love her toooooo. Oh man, I would love to have her back on the show.

Thank you!
